I like modern Rolex
I wear my green sub a lot. I wear a modern (rrr inside the ring) Daytona black dial...
YET my most treasured watch is a Dufour (sorry for the broken record on this lately) and I am now firmly encamped in staving off all watches, until I own a Roger Smith Series 2 Open Dial... (gimme few years)...
Is it painfully boring to like modern Rolex in our community?
If the answer is yes, it won't change my taste in rightly proportioned, classic, brilliantly finished, rock solid, legible, dependable, perfectly performing watches that smile at me each time I wear them (the Daytona actually more these days..)
Have I become a bore??????????????
Should I stop everything and get a Chocolate Frog? 
Affectionately,

Nice coming out ;-)
I know that my love for vintage Rolex probably makes me posts more about watches from the 1950's to the 1970's... But there a lots of modern Rolex afficionados here and I encourage you to post about contemporary watches ! Cheers Jeff
It is a sort of coming out, Jeff
I seem to have two interests... everyday watches that make sense.... and masterful independents... I love everything in between--interested in everything above and beyond, too.... but I seem to have settled into a relatively humble appreciation of steel R...
Hi Mostel...
A great post...and i am sure many empathise with you. I have two modern steel Rolex amongst my collection and I understand exactly what you are saying. I also understand that urge to explore into different zones. For me it is not the same avenue that you ...
No Baron noooo!!!
Just kidding... oh God... well, I'll make you this deal... when I am at a vintage dealer's again--(I like looking, what?) I will wear those watches if available... and if I buy one... I will blame you. If I buy one, I will also be diverging from this whol...
Mostel....
you buy a vintage Dayto and i'll buy you (and share) a good bottle of wine. When the angel and demon appear on my shoulders, I ALWAYS go with the demon. Way more fun.

resistance is futile... Who would have suspected an Englishman would plant such passions in the watchworld in 2010??? I certainly wouldn't have! But this is the Rolex forum....

likewise for me
and it would only be the latest "state of the art" Rolex - in steel! I need to get out and mingle with often unpredictable and unruly crowds without the slightest conscious or subconscious feeling that I have to protect The Watch at all times and even at ...
